They are still at it, but under Mirco Financial, Langely, BC. Smelled fishy when reading, so called just to here their story. My guy is foreign as well, was pretty aggressive about me cashing the check, and upset that my phone number was blocked. NEVER USE YOUR HOME NUMBER WHEN CALLING THESE PLACES. I kept pushing him with questions and he got really defensive and said just cash the check and you will see it is real. I will trust you to call us back even though your number is blocked. Yeah right, what company does that.... I am not only going to send to Attorney General's office, but I know Canada has similar governmental controls, which I plan on tracking down and sending info to them.
Received Final Notice from Able Financial Services, Inc.

Ottawa, ON Canada Kia 1B1
778-318-0235 / 0236
I called the number and spoke with Larry Pope 778-318-0236 he told me to deposit the enclosed check for $4800 and once it's deposited call them for further instruction, I asked him was this a scam. He had the nerve to get upset and told me that it was a legitiment business. I think it's a scam.
The letter says that I won a sweepstakes on June 15, 2006 by the Sweepstakes Association of North America. I was entitled to $250K but I would have to send $3800 to Chris Adams & Larry Pope.
My mom & dad received the same letter this week from Chris Adam and Larry Pope. It had a check for $4,800.00 from a Chase Bank. The Chase Bank said, the bank on 201 Main in Ft. Worth has been closed and moved for 3 or 4 years now. Becareful! It's Fraud!
I received a letter from ING Direct at 275 Portage Rd. Winnipeg, MB R3B2B3 that I was the winner of a compensation draw on 1-7-2008 held by the Sweepstakes Association of North America, inside the envelope was a chec for $3,885.00 (US) from LD&M Group. INC. 3000 Old Alabama Rd., STE 119-116 Alpharetta, GA 30022 drawn on BB&T(Branch Banking and Trust CO.) I was to call Eric Moore @ 1-778-858-5673, which I did he told me to cash the check and call him back, he was not in a mood to answer questions (rude). This is a scam as my bank would put a hold (60 days or until the check cleared) and to get my winnings I would have to send $3,518 to Tax Agent Doris Freeman 123 Brentwood Mall Winnipeg MD R3B4B6,Canada by 2-28-2008 in order to collect the $125,000.
